Defesa: Curitiba, 20/03/2017 / Inclui referências : f. 113-118 / Resumo: Inserido no quarto século romano, um período conturbado de transformações políticas e institucionais, herdeiro do agitado século terceiro, Flávio Valério Constantino (272-337) foi declarado imperator pelas legiões de seu pai, Constâncio Cloro, no ano de 306, na província da Britania. A partir de então, sua trajetória foi marcada por disputas que almejavam ao poder imperial centrado em uma única autoridade. Um prolífico autor que abordou a política constantiniana foi Eusébio de Cesareia (264/65-339/40), o qual viveu na função episcopal daquela cidade desde aproximadamente o ano 313 até a sua morte. Tornou-se conhecido sobretudo pelas obras Crônica cristã e História Eclesiástica. Nesta última, Eusébio inicia seu relato com a referência de profecias do Antigo Testamento sobre a vinda de Cristo como homem à Terra, seu nascimento, vida e morte, transpassa questões como a sucessão de bispos, a relação entre pagãos e judeus, as perseguições aos cristãos, os martírios, as heresias e finaliza no ano 324. O bispo produziu uma descrição a respeito de Constantino, vinculando suas ações político-militares vitoriosas à vontade do Deus judaico-cristão. Neste trabalho analisamos como foram elaborados argumentos pelo bispo na História Eclesiástica, apontando para a legitimação do poder imperial de Constantino, através da atribuição de virtudes ao governante. Notamos que a legitimidade de Constantino é construída na História eusebiana principalmente quando o autor narra instantes cruciais da trajetória política do líder imperial: as vitórias sobre Maxêncio (278-312) em 312 e sobre Licínio (263-325) em 324, revestindo-lhe com uma roupagem cristã. Palavras-chave: Constantino; Eusébio de Cesareia; História Eclesiástica; Legitimação do poder imperial. / Abstract: During the fourth century AD, a troubled period of political and institutional transformations, heir to the agitated third century, Flavio Valério Constantino (272-337) was declared an imperator by the legions of his father, Constantius Chlorus, in the year 306, in the province of Britania. From then on, its trajectory was marked by disputes that aimed at the imperial power centered on a single authority. A prolific author who addressed Constantinian politics was Eusebius of Caesarea (264 / 65-339 / 40), who lived in the episcopal function of that city from about year 313 until his death. He became known especially for his works Christian Chronicle and Ecclesiastical History. In this last one, Eusebius begins his account with the reference of Old Testament prophecies on the coming of Christ as man to the Earth, his birth, life and death; he also crosses questions such as the succession of bishops, the relation between pagans and Jews, persecution against Christians, martyrdoms, heresies, and finishes in the year 324. The bishop produced a description of Constantine, linking his victorious political-military actions to the will of the Judeo-Christian God. In the present work we analyze how the bishop's arguments in Ecclesiastical History were elaborated, pointing to the legitimation of the imperial power of Constantine, through the attribution of virtues to the ruler. We note that Constantine's legitimacy is built on Eusebian History, especially when the author narrates crucial moments in the political trajectory of the imperial leader: the victories over Maxentius (278-312) in 312 and about Licinius (263-325) in 324, in a Christian outfit. Keywords: Constantine; Eusebius of Caesarea; Ecclesiastical History; Legitimation of imperial power.

Nesse contexto, a institucionalização do cristianismo e a consolidação de uma identidade cristã envolvem tensões, mas também afinidades eletivas; são diversos os processos político-administrativos, culturais e religiosos presentes nessa conjuntura. A proposta desse estudo é inter-relacionar esses processos, destacando a política imperial de favorecimento do cristianismo desenvolvida a partir de Constantino e da virada constantiniana, a emergência de um cristianismo institucionalizado: a Igreja e o desenvolvimento da Cristandade: a aproximação entre autoridades eclesiásticas e imperiais. Indicar-se-á ainda que, a consolidação de uma identidade cristã está intimamente relacionada à firmação de uma ortodoxia e aos discursos dos intelectuais cristãos sobre o “ser cristão” e que ambos foram mais intensamente desenvolvidos na aproximação entre poder imperial e Igreja; a existência de uma religiosidade tardo-antiga com características comuns ao cristianismo, o fortalecimento das estruturas eclesiásticas e as redefinições identitárias possibilitaram a hegemonia de uma identidade cristã dentre as diversas correntes cristãs constituídas ao longo dos três séculos anteriores. / The 4th century presents itself as a decisive moment for the Christianity, to the Church and to the Roman Empire. In this context, the institutionalization of Christianity and the consolidation of a Christian identity involves tensions, but also elective affinities; are several political and administrative processes, cultural and religious gifts at this juncture. The proposal of this study is to interface these processes, highlighting imperial policy of developed from Constantine favoring Christianity, the emergence of an institutionalized Christianity: the Church and the development of Christendom: the rapprochement between Imperial and ecclesiastical authorities. Will indicate that the consolidation of a Christian identity is closely related to the consolidation of an orthodoxy and to the discourses of Christian intellectuals on the “be Christian” and that both were more intensively developed in the rapprochement of imperial power and the Church; the existence of late ancient religiosity with characteristics common to Christianity, the strengthening of ecclesiastical structures and redefinitions of identity allowed the hegemony of a Christian identity among the various Christian currents formed over the previous three centuries.

In this sense, the proposals presented by the AnnalesSchool, especially the History-Problem, are used as a theoretical reference for the development of the criticism. At first, it is observed the characteristics of Eusebius the writer and the politician,which the emperor Constantine was concerned. Finally, the specific character observed along the work to exemplify its apologetic and panegyrist style is the heroic image of the emperor Constantine that Eusebius developed. In order to verify this development, the parameters of Annales History-Problem are usedand also the concept of Invention of Traditions. Once identified that Constantine had the help of a christian writer, bishop and ecclesiastical-political that corresponded to his interests, and Eusebius that simultaneously built an benevolent image of the emperor, it is possible in this thesis to see how the Eusebian narrative and discourse accomplishes both political and religious motivations that can not be disregarded. This verification becomes even more important when we note how the Eusebian model of writing history served as a reference for so many others who had taken place laterin the same enterprise / Esta pesquisa tem por objetivo observar a história da historiografia da religião cristã a partir de uma releitura da obra História eclesiástica, escrita por Eusébio de Cesareia, no início do século IV de nossa era. Neste sentido, são utilizados como referenciais teóricos para desenvolvimento da crítica as propostas apresentadas pela Escola dos Annales, especialmente, a História-Problema. Em primeira instância, são observadas as características do Eusébio escritor e político que interessava ao imperador Constantino. Finalmente, o aspecto específico observado na obra para exemplificar seu estilo apologético e panegirista é a imagem heróica do imperador Constantino que Eusébio elaborou. Para verificar esta elaboração, são utilizados não somente parâmetros dos Annales como a História-Problema, mas também o conceito de Invenção de Tradições. Identificando que Constantino contou com o trabalho de um escritor cristão, bispo e articulador político-eclesiástico que correspondia aos seus interesses e que Eusébio, simultaneamente, construiu uma imagem benevolente deste imperador, é possível, na presente dissertação, perceber o quanto a narrativa e o discurso eusebianos atendem a motivações tanto políticas como religiosas que não podem ser desconsideradas. Esta constatação se torna tanto mais importante quando notamos como o modelo eusebiano de escrita da história serviu de referência para tantos outros que se colocaram posteriormente no mesmo empreendimento

His works, specifically the De ira Dei and De mortibus persecutorum are a register of theological, philosophical disputations and some events of his time. Influenced by the idea of Providence, in case, for the Genesis, Exodus, Numbers and the book of Josue, for the idea of Providence, History and memory from Israelis , Lactantius builds his ideas about the Providence of God and a History and a memory to the Christians in De ira and De mort. works. Despite the importance of two works, we don t find indications that any historian did a study about the construction of the and how works the Providence of God in De ira and it application in De mort. This is the core of our research, the construction and the explanation how works the Providence of God in De ira the dispute with Epicurus of Samos about the existence of the Providence and it application in the De mort. work, specifically in the political world of the Roman Empire in History (trajectory) of Christians , until the establishment of a new political order, when of the victory of Constantine on Maxentius, in 312. The History (trajectory) of Christians gives elements to the edification of a memory, being the memory the conscience who was in the past and who is in the present. The memory of Christians gives elements to the construction of an identity, being identity three points: a) positive definition of yourself; b) negative definition given to the other and c) dependence between the positive the identity and the negative the difference . The Christian is the positive the identity and the pagan is the negative the difference . As for methodology, our foundation is Régine Robin. According to the principles developed by the author, we analyse words and expressions in De ira and De mort. works, revealing meanings, at the first moment, hidden. Finally, our intention, through the study of the construction and the explanation of how the Providence works in De ira and it application in the political world of the Roman Empire in De mort., is to contribute to the best religious and political understanding of the end of the third century and beginning of the fourth century. / Lactâncio, retórico cristão do Norte da África, é uma das mais importantes testemunhas do momento que abrange o final do século III e o início do IV. Suas obras, especificamente De ira Dei e De mortibus persecutorum, são um relato dos debates filosóficos, teológicos e de alguns eventos de seu tempo. Influenciado pelo Antigo Testamento no caso, Gênesis, Êxodo, Números e o livro de Josué pela idéia de Providência, pela História e memória dos israelenses, Lactâncio constrói suas idéias acerca da Providência de Deus, além de uma História e memória para os cristãos nas obras De ira e De mort. Apesar da importância das duas obras, não encontramos indícios de que qualquer historiador tenha feito um estudo a respeito da construção e de como funciona a Providência de Deus na De ira e de sua aplicação na obra De mort. Este é o cerne de Nossa Dissertação de Mestrado, a construção e a explicação de como funciona a Providência de Deus em De ira o debate com Epicuro de Samos acerca da existência da Providência e sua aplicação na obra De mort., especificamente no mundo político do Império Romano, na História (trajetória) dos cristãos, até o estabelecimento de uma nova ordem política cristã, quando do triunfo de Constantino sobre Maxêncio, no ano 312. A História (trajetória) dos cristãos fornece dados para a edificação de uma memória, sendo a memória o conhecimento de quem se foi no passado e de quem se é no presente. A memória fornece dados para a construção de uma identidade, sendo identidade três pontos principais: a) definição positiva de si; b) definição negativa dada ao outro a diferença e c) dependência entre o positivo a identidade e o negativo a diferença. O cristão é o positivo a identidade e o pagão é o negativo a diferença. Quanto à metodologia, nosso alicerce é Régine Robin. Tendo por base os princípios desenvolvidos por tal autora, analisamos palavras e expressões nas obras De ira e De mort., descobrindo significados, num primeiro momento, ocultos. Finalmente, nosso propósito, por meio do estudo da construção e explicação de como a Providência funciona em De ira e seu emprego no mundo político do Império Romano em De mort., é contribuir para o melhor entendimento político e religioso do final do século III e começo do século IV.

Foi em Cesareia, capital desta província, que Eusébio ocupou a posição de bispo no início do século IV d.C. e desenvolveu toda sua obra literária. Cesareia é considerada cultural e socialmente heterogênea, neste período, possuindo presença marcante de cristãos e não cristãos (como os judeus e samaritanos). Foi exatamente esta heterogeneidade que impedia o predomínio de um grupo étnico-cultural sobre o outro e culminou por colocar em oposição as elites e lideranças desses grupos locais, ou seja, cristãos e não cristãos. Partindo da leitura das obras História Eclesiástica, Louvor a Constantino e Vida de Constantino, todas de Eusébio, e considerando as condições socioculturais da cidade e região de Cesareia, entendemos que Eusébio sentiu necessidade de buscar uma aproximação com o Imperador Constantino, visando garantir o favorecimento do cristianismo e o fortalecimento de sua posição como representante do cristianismo em sua região. Outro aspecto relevante que emerge das tentativas de compreensão do sentido das ações de Eusébio diz respeito a dificuldade de pesquisadores em situar sua posição frente a multiplicidade de cristianismos de seu período. Eusébio seria ortodoxo ou heterodoxo? Nosso entendimento desta questão é de que Eusébio está menos preocupado em defender uma posição teológica fixa, construir uma ortodoxa, do que buscar um equilíbrio entre os diversos cristianismos existentes no período. Para tanto, apoia-se nas ações do Imperador Constantino que parece contar com o bispo cesareno como seu aliado na busca por um consenso no Império Romano. Além das obras do próprio Eusébio, pretendemos confirmar nossa hipótese e.. / This research aims to demonstrate the Eusebius effort of defending the Christian patrimony (c 260 AD -. 339 AD) during the rule of the Emperor Constantine I (313 AD - 337 AD), especially in Palestine. It was in Caesarea - capital of this Roman province - where Eusebius ruled as a Bishop in the beginning of the fourth century and penned his literary works. Caesarea is considered culturally and socially heterogeneous, in this period, having strong presence of Christians and non-Christians people (like Jews and Samaritans). It was precisely this heterogeneity that prevented the dominance of any ethnic-cultural group over another, and put its leaders in opposition - Christian and non-Christian groups. After reading Ecclesiastical History, Praise of Constantine and Life of Constantine, all of it penned by Eusebius, and considering the socio-cultural conditions of Caesarea's city and its region, we understand that Eusebius felt the need to seek an approach with the Emperor Constantine, in order for both to ensure Christian religion favouritism and strengthening for its position as representative of Christianity in his region. Another important aspect that emerges from attempts to understand the meanings of Eusebius' action is related to a difficult of locating the position of Eusebius before the multiplicity of Christianities in his historical context. Researchers have used wonder themselves: would be Eusebius orthodox or hetedorox? We understand that a defence of a fixed theological position, building orthodoxy, is less important to Eusebius than seek a balance between the numerous existing models of Christianity of this period. To do so, Eusebius rely on the actions of Constantine that seems consider him as his ally in the search of building consensus inside the Roman Empire. Besides the works of Eusebius himself, we intend to confirm our hypothesis and objectives outlined in this dissertation using the Prayer to The Assembly of The...

O corpus documental principal deste estudo é constituído pelos textos do bispo Eusébio de Cesaréia que lidam especialmente com este imperador, quais sejam: a História Eclesiástica, o Louvor a Constantino e a Vida de Constantino. Tentarei mostrar, através destes textos, como a política de favorecimento imperial ao cristianismo que se verifica no início do século IV deve muito de seu sucesso à participação política dos bispos junto ao imperador e seus altos magistrados, residindo o problema da consolidação da Igreja como instituição política importante no cenário imperial não só em uma mudança de atitude do príncipe frente às comunidades cristãs, mas sobretudo em uma transformação ocorrida nas igrejas, por meio de seus bispos, que cada vez mais interessadas no auxílio de Roma para a resolução de seus conflitos / Abstract: This dissertation has as its main aim to analyze the public role of the bishops during the reign of Constantine, chiefly their efforts to build a relationship of proximity and dialogue with the imperial court. The documental corpus of this study is composed of the texts of the bishop Eusebius of Caesarea that deal specially with this emperor, which are the Ecclesiastical History, the Praise of Constantine and the Life of Constantine. I will try to show how the imperial policy of support to Christianity that occurs in the beginning of the fourth century owes great part of its success to the political involvement of the bishops with the emperor and his magistrates. I will also argue that the problem of the consolidation of the Church as an important political institution within the imperial scenario depends not only of a change of attitude of the emperor towards the Christian communities, but mainly of a transformation occurred within the churches themselves, through their bishops, that were more and more interested in the aid of Rome for the resolution of their own conflicts / Mestrado / Historia Cultural / Mestre em História

The Latin American centennial celebrations of independence (ca.1909-1925) constituted a key moment in the consolidation of national symbols and tropes, while also producing a renewed focus on transnational affinities that generated a series of discourses on continental unity. At the same time, a boom in archaeological explorations, within a general climate of scientific positivism, provided Latin Americans with new information about their ‘grandiose’ former civilisations, such as the Inca and the Aztec, which some then argued for as an American equivalent to ancient Greek and Egyptian cultures. These discourses moved from the political to the cultural sphere, themselves shaping ideas about Latin American national and continental identity. In the arts, and particularly in music, artists as a result began to move from using European techniques and depicting European themes, to produce an art that could be considered Latin American. This dissertation explores discourses surrounding the Inca in particular as a source for the creation of a ‘national’ and ‘continental’ art music during the first three decades of the twentieth century, with a concentration on ‘nationalist’ composers of Peru, Ecuador and Argentina. Three main topics bind together my analysis: interpretations of the Inca musical system, the postcolonial style called yaraví, and the composition of opera. To this end, I look into early twentieth-century writings on Inca music and its origins, investigate attempts to reconstruct it, describe how certain composers applied ‘Inca’ techniques into their own works, and consider how this music was perceived by local audiences. Ultimately, I argue that faced with the difficulties of constructing national unity at the time, the turn to Inca culture and music in pursuit of such unity could only succeed within particular intellectual circles, and that the idea that the Inca example could produce a ‘music of America’ would ultimately remain a utopia.

This dissertation examines how Philippine (or Filipino) authors emphasise the need for articulating or “re/membering” cultural identity. The researcher mainly draws from the theory of Caribbean critic, Stuart Hall, who views cultural identity as an articulation which allows “the fragmented, decentred human agent” to be considered as one who is both “subject-ed” by power but/and one who is capable of acting against those powers (Grossberg 1996 [1986]: 157, emphasis mine). Applied to the Philippine context, this writer argues that, instead of viewing an apparent fragmented Filipino identity as a hindrance to “defining” cultural identity, she views the “damaged” (Fallows 1987) Filipino history as a the material itself which allows articulation of identity. Instead of reducing the cultural identity of a people to what-they-could-have-been-had-history-not-intervened, she puts forward a vision of identity which attempts to transfigure these “damages” through the efforts of coming-to-terms with history. While this point of view has already been shared by other critics (such as Feria 1991 or Dalisay 1998:145), the author’s contribution lies in presenting re/membering to describe a specific type of articulation which neither permits one to deny wounds of the past nor stagnate in them. Moreover, re/membering allows one to understand continuous re-articulations of “new” identities (due to current migration), while putting an “arbitrary closure” (Hall) to simplistic re-articulations which may only further the “lines of tendential forces” (such as black or brown skin bias) or hegemonic practices. Written as such (with a slash),“re/membering” encapsulates the following three-fold meaning: (1) a “re-membering”, to indicate “a putting together of the dismembered past to make sense of the trauma of the present” (Bhabha 1994:63); as (2) a “re-membering” or a re-integration into a group and; as (3) “remembering” which implies possessing “memory or … set [ting] off in search of a memory” (Ricoeur 2004:4). As a morphological unit, “re/membering” designates, the ways in which Filipino authors try to articulate cultural identity through the routes of colonisation, migration and dictatorship. The authors studied in this thesis include: Carlos Bulosan, Bienvenido Santos, N.V.M. Gonzalez, Nick Joaquin, Frank Sionil José, Ninotchka Rosca, Jessica Hagedorn, and Merlinda Bobis. Sixty-years separate Bulosan’s America is in the Heart (1943) from Hagedorn’s Dream Jungle (2003). Analysis of these works reveals how articulation is both difficult and hopeful. On the one hand, authors criticize the lack of efforts and seriousness towards articulation of cultural identity as re/membering (coming to terms with the past, fostering belonging and cultivating memory). Not only is re/membering challenged by double-consciousness (Du Bois 1994), dismemberment and forgetting, moreover, its necessity is likewise hard to recognize because of pain, trauma, phenomena of splitting, escapist attitudes and preferences for a “comfortable captivity”. On the other hand, re/membering can also be described as hopeful by the way authors themselves make use of literature to articulate identity through research, dialogue, time, reconciliation and re-creation. Although painstaking and difficult, re/membering is important and necessary because what is at stake is an articulated Philippine cultural identity. However, who would be prepared to make the effort? ------ Cette thèse démontre que, pour les auteurs philippins, l’articulation ou « re/membering » l'identité culturelle, est nécessaire. Le chercheur s'appuie principalement sur la théorie de Stuart Hall, qui perçoit l'identité culturelle comme une articulation qui permet de considérer l’homme assujetti capable aussi d'agir contre des pouvoirs (cf. Grossberg 1996 [1986]: 157). Appliquée au contexte philippin, cet auteur soutient que, au lieu de la visualisation d'une identité fragmentée apparente comme un obstacle à une « définition » de l'identité culturelle, elle regarde l’histoire philippine «abîmée» (Fallows 1987) comme le matériel même qui permet l'articulation d’identité. Au lieu de réduire l'identité culturelle d'un peuple à ce qu’ ils auraint pû être avant les interventions de l’histoire, elle met en avant une vision de l'identité qui cherche à transfigurer ces "dommages" par un travail d’acceptation avec l'histoire. Bien que ce point de vue a déjà été partagé par d'autres critiques (tels que Feria 1991 ou Dalisay 1998:145), la contribution de l'auteur réside dans la présentation de « re/membering » pour décrire un type d'articulation sans refouler les plaies du passé, mais sans stagner en elles non plus. De plus, « re/membering » permet de comprendre de futures articulations de « nouvelles » identités culturelles (en raison de la migration en cours), tout en mettant une «fermeture arbitraire» (Hall) aux ré-articulations simplistes qui ne font que promouvoir des “lines of tendential forces” (Hall) (tels que des préjugés sur la couleur brune ou noire de peau) ou des pratiques hégémoniques. Rédigé en tant que telle (avec /), « re/membering » comporte une triple signification: (1) une «re-membering », pour indiquer une mise ensemble d’un passé fragmenté pour donner un sens au traumatisme du présent (cf. Bhabha, 1994:63); (2) une «re-membering» ou une ré-intégration dans un groupe et finalement, comme (3)"remembering", qui suppose la possession de mémoire ou une recherche d'une mémoire »(Ricoeur 2004:4). Comme unité morphologique, « re/membering » désigne la manière dont les auteurs philippins tentent d'articuler l'identité culturelle à travers les routes de la colonisation, les migrations et la dictature. Les auteurs inclus dans cette thèse sont: Carlos Bulosan, Bienvenido Santos, NVM Gonzalez, Nick Joaquin, Frank Sionil José, Ninotchka Rosca, Jessica Hagedorn, et Merlinda Bobis. Soixante ans séparent America is in the Heart (1943) du Bulosan et le Dream Jungle (2003) du Hagedorn. L'analyse de ces œuvres révèle la façon dont l'articulation est à la fois difficile et pleine d'espoir. D'une part, les auteurs critiquent le manque d'efforts envers l'articulation en tant que « re/membering » (confrontation avec le passé, reconnaissance de l'appartenance et cultivation de la mémoire). Non seulement est « re/membering » heurté par le double conscience (Du Bois 1994), le démembrement et l'oubli, en outre, sa nécessité est également difficile à reconnaître en raison de la douleur, les traumatismes, les phénomènes de scission, les attitudes et les préférences d'évasion pour une captivité "confortable" . En même temps, « re/membering » peut également être décrit comme plein d'espoir par la façon dont les auteurs eux-mêmes utilisent la littérature pour articuler l'identité à travers la recherche, le dialogue, la durée, la réconciliation et la re-création. Bien que laborieux et difficile, « re/membering » est important et nécessaire car ce qui est en jeu, c'est une identité culturelle articulée des Philippines. Mais qui serait prêt à l'effort?

Le chercheur s'appuie principalement sur la théorie de Stuart Hall, qui perçoit l'identité culturelle comme une articulation qui permet de considérer l’homme assujetti capable aussi d'agir contre des pouvoirs (cf. Grossberg 1996 [1986]: 157). Appliquée au contexte philippin, cet auteur soutient que, au lieu de la visualisation d'une identité fragmentée apparente comme un obstacle à une « définition » de l'identité culturelle, elle regarde l’histoire philippine «abîmée» (Fallows 1987) comme le matériel même qui permet l'articulation d’identité. Au lieu de réduire l'identité culturelle d'un peuple à ce qu’ ils auraint pû être avant les interventions de l’histoire, elle met en avant une vision de l'identité qui cherche à transfigurer ces "dommages" par un travail d’acceptation avec l'histoire. <p><p>Bien que ce point de vue a déjà été partagé par d'autres critiques (tels que Feria 1991 ou Dalisay 1998:145), la contribution de l'auteur réside dans la présentation de « re/membering » pour décrire un type d'articulation sans refouler les plaies du passé, mais sans stagner en elles non plus. De plus, « re/membering » permet de comprendre de futures articulations de « nouvelles » identités culturelles (en raison de la migration en cours), tout en mettant une «fermeture arbitraire» (Hall) aux ré-articulations simplistes qui ne font que promouvoir des “lines of tendential forces” (Hall) (tels que des préjugés sur la couleur brune ou noire de peau) ou des pratiques hégémoniques.<p><p>Rédigé en tant que telle (avec /), « re/membering » comporte une triple signification: (1) une «re-membering », pour indiquer une mise ensemble d’un passé fragmenté pour donner un sens au traumatisme du présent (cf. Bhabha, 1994:63); (2) une «re-membering» ou une ré-intégration dans un groupe et finalement, comme (3)"remembering", qui suppose la possession de mémoire ou une recherche d'une mémoire »(Ricoeur 2004:4). Comme unité morphologique, « re/membering » désigne la manière dont les auteurs philippins tentent d'articuler l'identité culturelle à travers les routes de la colonisation, les migrations et la dictature. <p><p>Les auteurs inclus dans cette thèse sont: Carlos Bulosan, Bienvenido Santos, NVM Gonzalez, Nick Joaquin, Frank Sionil José, Ninotchka Rosca, Jessica Hagedorn, et Merlinda Bobis. Soixante ans séparent America is in the Heart (1943) du Bulosan et le Dream Jungle (2003) du Hagedorn. L'analyse de ces œuvres révèle la façon dont l'articulation est à la fois difficile et pleine d'espoir. D'une part, les auteurs critiquent le manque d'efforts envers l'articulation en tant que « re/membering » (confrontation avec le passé, reconnaissance de l'appartenance et cultivation de la mémoire). Non seulement est « re/membering » heurté par le double conscience (Du Bois 1994), le démembrement et l'oubli, en outre, sa nécessité est également difficile à reconnaître en raison de la douleur, les traumatismes, les phénomènes de scission, les attitudes et les préférences d'évasion pour une captivité "confortable" .<p><p>En même temps, « re/membering » peut également être décrit comme plein d'espoir par la façon dont les auteurs eux-mêmes utilisent la littérature pour articuler l'identité à travers la recherche, le dialogue, la durée, la réconciliation et la re-création. Bien que laborieux et difficile, « re/membering » est important et nécessaire car ce qui est en jeu, c'est une identité culturelle articulée des Philippines. Mais qui serait prêt à l'effort? <p> / Doctorat en Langues et lettres / info:eu-repo/semantics/nonPublished
